Foreword 


WITH  THE  enactment  of  Medicare,  utilization  review 
became  a  national  requirement  for  third-party  reim- 
bursement of  certain  health  care  costs.  The  1972 
Amendments  to  the  Social  Security  Act  authorized  the 
establishment  of  Professional  Standards  Review  Or- 
ganizations (PSRO's),  which  will  be  responsible  for 
assuring  that  services  furnished  by  or  in  institutions 
are  medically  necessary,  are  provided  in  accordance 
with  recognized  professional  standards  of  care,  and  are 
furnished  in  the  most  efficient  and  economical  manner 
consistent  with  quality  care.  Retrospective  review  of 
patterns  of  inpatient  care  are  or  will  be  an  important 
part  of  utilization  review  and  PSRO  activities. 

To  aid  in  studying  hospital  utilization  patterns,  this 
report  presents  national  and  regional  data  for  1971  on 
the  number  of  discharges  of  persons  aged  66  and  over 
from  short-stay  hospitals,  the  mean  and  median  length 
of  stay  and  the  percentile  distribution  of  days  of  care 
for  selected  diagnoses  and  surgical  procedures.  For 
each  diagnosis,  data  are  presented  for  selected  dis- 
charge characteristics:  age,  the  presence  of  secondary 
or  complicating  conditions,  and  whether  or  not  surgery 
was  performed.  For  each  surgical  procedure,  data  are 
presented  by  age,  and  the  presence  of  secondary  or 
complicating  conditions. 


For  diagnoses,  similar  data  for  1970  were  published 
in  an  earlier  report.  Medicare:  Health  Insurance  for 
the  Aged,  1970:  Length  of  Stay  by  Diagnosis,  Wash- 
ington, D.C.,  1973.  Data  for  selected  surgical  procedures 
are  presented  for  the  first  time  in  this  report. 

This  report  was  prepared  in  the  Division  of  Health 
Insurance  Studies,  Office  of  Research  and  Statistics, 
Social  Security  Administration,  under  the  supervision 
of  Howard  West,  director,  and  Aaron  Krute,  deputy 
director,  Program  Statistics.  Text  preparation  was 
the  responsibility  of  Penelope  L.  Pine  of  the  Program 
Statistics  Staff.  Contributions  to  the  tabulation  and 
presentation  of  the  statistical  content  of  this  report 
were  made  by  Winston  0.  Edwards  of  Management 
Statistics  and  Robert  M.  Dickerson  of  Data  Manage- 
ment. The  General  Tables  were  produced  by  the  "Sys- 
tem for  Automated  Tabular  Composition,"  a  computer 
system  at  the  Social  Security  Administration  Head- 
quarters in  Baltimore,  Maryland.  They  were  set  on 
Linotron  equipment  at  the  Grovernment  Printing  Office 
in  Washington,  D.C.

The  Statistical  System  of 


THIS  PUBLICATION  is  a  section  of  a  statistical  report 
series  produced  from  Medicare  program  records.  Pres- 
ented on  a  calendar  year  basis,  describing  services  rend- 
ered in  the  year,  the  series  includes  sections  on  enroll- 
ment, characteristics  of  providers,  inpatient  hospital 
care,  outpatient  hospital  services,  home  health  services, 
physicians'  and  other  medical  services,  and  overall 
summaries. 

The  primary  objective  of  these  reports  is  to  provide 
data  required  to  measure  and  evaluate  program  opera- 
tion and  effectiveness.  Benefit  payment  operations 
furnish  information  about  the  amount  and  kind  of 
hospital  and  medical  care  services  used  by  persons  aged 
65  and  over,  as  well  as  the  expenditures  for  such 
services.  The  applications  by  hospitals,  extended  care 
facilities,  home  health  agencies,  and  independent  labora- 
tories to  participate  in  the  program  provide  data  on  the 
characteristics  of  such  providers  of  services.  The  claim 
number  assigned  to  each  individual  serves  as  the  link 
between  the  program  services  utilized  and  the  demo- 
graphic characteristics  of  each  individual  recorded  in  the 
health  insurance  entitlement  master  file. 

The  data-collection  system  has  two  inherent  charac- 
teristics that  determine  the  scope,  detail,  and  flexibility 
of  the  available  data.  First,  data  are  collected  and 
maintained  on  an  individual  basis  so  that  the  beneficiary 
and  his  medical  experience  under  the  program  form  the 
basic  unit.  Second,  records  for  each  bill  paid  under  the 
program  and,  for  a  sample  of  beneficiaries,  records  of 
diagnoses  and  surreal  procedures  are  maintained  on  a 
centralized  basis.  Except  for  intermediary  operating 
statistics  such  as  those  relating  to  workloads,  costs,  and 
the  like,  all  program  statistics  are  centrally  prepared. 

THE  BASIC  RECORDS 

The  statistical  system  is  based  on  five  related 
computer-tape  records:  the  health  insurance  entitlement 
master  file,  provider  record,  hospital  insurance  (part  A) 
utilization  record,  medical  insurance  (part  B)  payment 
record,  and  the  record  containing  information  from 
medical  insurance  bills  for  a  5-percent  sample  of 
supplementary  medical  insurance  enroUees. 


THE  HEALTH  INSURANCE  ENTITLEMENT 
MASTER  FILE 

The  health  insurance  entitlement  master  file  identifies 
each  aged  person  eligible  for  health  insurance  benefits 
and  indicates  whether  he  is  entitled  to  hospital  benefits, 
to  supplementary  medical  insurance  benefits,  or  to  both 
of  these  benefits. 


This  record  is  used  to  create  a  health  insurance  card 
that  is  sent  to  each  insured  person.  The  card  contains 
the  individual's  claim  number  (the  number  used  for 
OASDI  or  railroad  retirement  programs).  It  indicates  the 
entitlement  of  the  individual  for  the  two  parts  of  the 
Medicare  program. 

The  entitlement  record  provides  the  population  data 
for  each  part  of  the  program  and  therefore  serves  as  the 
base  for  the  computation  of  a  variety  of  utilization 
rates,  limited  only  by  its  demographic  content. 


PROVIDER  RECORD 

Every  hospital,  home  health  agency,  extended  care 
facihty,  and  independent  laboratory  must  apply  for 
participation  in  the  hospital  insurance  program  in  order 
to  be  reimbursed  for  services  provided.  Data  included  on 
the  application  forms  have  been  recorded  in  the  central 
provider  record  and  are  updated  as  facilities  are  recerti- 
fied periodically,  as  new  ones  apply  for  participation,  or 
as  some  leave  the  program.  When  the  information  in  this 
provider  file  is  combined  with  utilization  data,  it  serves 
to  relate  the  characteristics  of  facilities  and  agencies  that 
provide  care  to  the  kinds  and  amounts  of  service  used 
by  persons  insured  under  Medicare. 


UTILIZATION  RECORD  FOR  HOSPITAL 
INSURANCE 

The  administration  of  the  hospital  insurance  program 
requires  that  two  items  of  information  be  known  about 
each  person  at  the  time  of  his  admission  to  a  hospital— 
his  entitlement  under  the  program  and  the  extent  to 
which  he  had  used  the  benefits  available  to  him  under 
the  "benefit  period"  concept. 

When  the  patient  is  admitted  to  a  hospital,  the 
admission  section  of  the  inpatient  hospital  admission 
and  billing  form  is  completed  by  the  hospital  and 
forwarded  throu^  its  intermediary  to  the  Social  Secu- 
rity Administration  for  recording  in  the  central  record. 
As  soon  as  the  record  is  checked,  normally  in  less  than 
24  hours,  the  intermediary  is  informed  of  the  patient's 
benefit  status  and  of  the  number  of  days  remaining 
during  the  "benefit  period." 

This  information  is  then  forwarded  to  the  hospital. 
At  discharge,  the  hospital  completes  the  bilUng  section 
of  the  form  and  sends  it  to  the  intermediary  for 
payment.  When  approval  for  payment  has  been  made, 
the  intermediary  forwards  the  claim  to  the  Social 
Security  Administifation  for  inclusion  in  the  central 
record. 


VI 


the  Medicare  Program 


As  part  of  this  process,  information  on  diagnoses  and 
surgical  procedures  are  coded  for  a  20-percent  sample  of 
beneficiaries  based  on  specific  combinations  of  digits  in 
the  health  insurance  claim  number.  Copies  of  admission 
and  billing  forms  are  handled  in  a  comparable  manner 
by  home  health  agencies  and  extended  care  facilities. 
The  outpatient  billing  form  is  also  transmitted  to  the 
Social  Security  Administration  for  recording  in  the 
central  record  after  the  bill  is  approved  for  payment  by 
the  intermediary. 

All  the  information  on  utilization  experience  in 
hospital  and  extended  care  facilities  that  is  needed  to 
administer  the  "benefit  period"  provision  is  recorded  in 
the  central  record.  This  information  includes  stays  in 
certain  nonparticipating  institutions  that  meet  the  defi- 
nition of  a  hospital  or  extended  care  facility  under  the 
law,  and  days  of  care  not  covered  or  reimbursable  under 
the  program. 

Each  admission  and  billing  form  contains  both  the 
beneficiary's  claim  number  and  the  provider's  identifica- 
tion number.  The  resulting  tape  record  can  be  readily 
matched  to  the  beneficiary  files  and  the  provider  files. 
By  this  process,  a  statistical  tape  record  is  created  for 
the  sample  of  insured  persons  that  contains  all  the 
available  information  needed  for  tabulation  from  the 
three  files  related  to  part  A  utilization. 


PAYMENT  FOR  MEDICAL  INSURANCE 

Payment  or  reimbursement  under  the  SMI  program  is 
made  only  after  receipt  by  the  carriers  (intermediaries 
involved  in  Part  B  of  the  Medicare  program)  of  bills 
having  allowed  charges  exceeding  $50  during  a  calendar 
year  period. 

For  the  insured  population,  carriers  need  to  know 
from  a  central  source  that  the  deductible  has  been  met; 
thereafter,  during  the  remainder  of  the  calendar  year, 
the  only  additional  information  required  from  the 
Social  Security  Administration  for  reimbursement  or 
payment  purposes  is  whether  the  person  is  still  enrolled 
under  the  SMI  program. 

For  administration  and  operation  of  the  program,  the 
Social  Security  Administration  must  have  accurate  and 
complete  information  on  the  amounts  paid  by  the 
carriers  for  physician  services  and  for  other  services  and 
suppUes  under  this  part  of  the  program.  To  meet  these 
needs,  carriers  furnish  a  payment  record  consisting  of 
tape,  punched  card,  or  other  machine-readable  record  of 
each  bill  paid.  A  "bill"  is  defined  as  a  request  for 
payment  from  or  on  behalf  of  a  beneficiary  as  the  result 
of  services  provided  by  a  single  physician  or  supplier. 


The  payment  record  also  contains  selected  items  of 
information  needed  to  supply  an  efficient  basis  for 
drawing  samples  of  the  bills.  These  items  provide  a 
sampUng  frame  that  may  be  used  to  draw  additional 
samples  designed  to  obtain  specific  information  not 
furnished  reliably  by  the  basic  sample  of  enrolled 
persons  under  the  medical  insurance  program. 


THE  MEDICAL  INSURANCE  SAMPLE 

Althou^  the  payment  record  provides  a  rapid 
method  for  summarizing  payment  data  and  a  sampling 
frame  for  efficiently  drawing  additional  samples  of  bills, 
it  does  not  provide  specific  data  on  diagnoses,  pro- 
cedures, and  related  charges. 

Basic  statistics  on  the  utilization  of  physician  and 
other  services  covered  under  the  supplementary  medical 
insurance  program  are  derived  from  bills  paid  by 
intermediaries  to  or  on  behalf  of  a  continuous  5-percent 
sample  of  all  enrolled  persons.  Intermediaries  have  been 
given  specific  combinations  of  digits  of  the  health 
insurance  claim  number  to  be  used  in  selecting  the 
5-percent  sample,  which  is  a  sub-sample  of  the  20- 
percent  sample  used  for  hospital  insurance  program 
data. 

Bills  are  submitted  either  directly  on  an  SSA  request 
for  payment  form,  or  on  the  SSA  form  in  combination 
with  the  physicians's  billing  form.  Both  methods  are 
designed  to  provide  information  on  the  date  and  place 
of  each  service,  the  procedure  carried  out  or  service 
provided,  the  condition  treated  (diagnosis),  and  the 
physician's  or  supplier's  charge  for  the  specific  service. 

All  of  the  bills  of  persons  in  the  5-percent  sample  to 
or  for  whom  payment  is  made  under  the  program, 
including  those  used  to  meet  the  annual  $50  deductible, 
are  included  in  the  sample  and  coded.  However,  data  are 
not  available  through  these  procedures  for  persons  in 
the  sample  who  do  not  meet  the  $50  deductible.  Such 
data  are  collected  by  means  of  the  Current  Medicare 
Survey,  with  data  made  available  in  a  separate  report 
series.* 

For  hospital-based  physicians  who  have  authorized 
the  provider  to  collect  the  fee  for  their  services,  the 
provider  billing  for  patient  services  by  physicians  form  is 
used.  This  form  is  completed  for  each  patient.  It 
includes  descriptive  information  on  the  date  and  place 
of  each  service,  the  diagnoses,  procedures,  and  the 
charges.  These  bills  are  received  centrally  for  the 
5-percent  sample  of  persons  enrolled  for  supplementary 
medical  insurance.

Discharges  from  Short-Stay  Hospitals  for  Selected  Diagnoses, 
Surgical  Procedures  and  Discharge  Characteristics,  1971 


introduction 

The  hospital  insurance  (HI)  part  of  the  Medicare 
program,  effective  July  1,  1966,  has  been  providing 
payment  for  a  large  portion  of  the  costs  of  inpatient 
hospital  services  for  the  insured  population  aged  65 
and  over.  In  calendar  year  1971,  for  example.  Medi- 
care reimbursements  for  inpatient  care  in  short-stay 
hospitals  totalled  almost  $5.0  billion  and  represented 
more  than  three-fourths  of  the  charges  billed  to  the 
program  for  such  services. 

This  report  presents  tables  showing  length  of  stay 
distributions  for  selected  diagnoses  and  surgical  pro- 
cedures by  census  region  and  division  for  Medicare 
patients  discharged  from  short-stay  hospitals  during 
1971.1  (igee  Notes  to  General  Tables  for  composition  of 
geographic  areas.)  For  each  diagnosis,  data  are  re- 
ported by  selected  characteristics  of  discharged  pa-

tients,  including  age,  the  presence  or  absence  of  addi- 
tional (complicating)  conditions,  and  vi^hether  or  not 
surgery  was  performed  (see  Notes  preceding  General 
Tables  for  definitions).  For  each  surgical  procedure, 
data  are  reported  by  the  patient's  age  and  the  presence 
or  absence  of  additional  conditions  (discharge  diag- 
noses). These  factors  as  well  as  the  disease,  illness,  or 
injury  which  was  the  primary  cause  of  a  person's 
hospitalization  are  important  in  determining  length  of 
stay  and,  as  a  result,  benefit  payments  under  Medicare. 
This  report  presents  data  for  166  specific  diagnoses 
or  diagnostic  groups,  representing  4.81  million  stays 
and  17  specific  surgical  procedures  or  procedural 
groups  representing  700,000  stays  for  inpatients  dis- 
charged from  short-stay  hospitals  under  Medicare  dur- 
ing 1971.  The  figures  reported  were  selected  from  some 
5.7  million  total  discharges,  including  1.7  million  with 
surgical  procedures,  entered  in  the  Social  Security 
Administration's  central  records  at  the  time  the  data 
were  tabulated.  Table  A  below  summarizes  the  length 
of  stay  experience  under  Medicare  for  the  United 
States,  and  for  census  regions  of  the  total  5.7  million 
discharges  recorded.

Source  and  Limitations  of  Data 


The  data  in  this  report  are  derived  from  bills  for 
inpatient  services  submitted  for  payment  by  short- 
stay  hospitals  for  a  20-percent  sample  of  Medicare 
beneficiaries.  The  data  include  all  discharges,  that  is, 
patients  discharged  alive  as  well  as  those  who  died 
during  hospitalization  or  who  were  transferred  to  other 
facilities.  The  number  of  reported  discharges  is  greater 
than  the  actual  number  of  persons  discharged  during 
the  year  because  a  person  could  have  more  than  one 
stay  during  the  reporting  period. 

When  a  beneficiary  is  hospitalized,  an  admission 
notice  and  subsequent  bills  are  received  by  the  Social 
Security  Administration  (SSA)  where  they  are  proc- 
essed and  placed  on  file.  Part  of  this  process  consists 
of  coding  medical  information  on  the  bills  in  the  sample 
to  identify  the  nature  of  any  surgery  performed,  and 
the  primary  disease,  illness,  condition,  or  injury  re- 
sponsible for  the  hospitalization.  Information  from  the 
billing  forms  is  matched  to  other  master  records  main- 
tained by  SSA,  which  contain  information  about  the 
characteristics  of  each  Medicare  beneficiary  as  well  as 
about  individual  short-stay  hospitals  participating  in 
the  program.  General  and  special  hospitals  reporting 
average  stays  of  less  than  30  days  are  included. 

The  data  in  this  report  are  based  on  a  sample  of  the 
approximately  5.7  million  discharges  from  short-stay 
hospitals  during  1971  which  were  recorded  in  SSA  by 
January  1973.  The  sample  counts  have  been  multiplied 
by  five  to  give  an  estimate  of  the  total  number  of  dis- 
charges recorded  from  a  hospital  as  of  this  date.  There 
is  a  lag  between  the  time  a  person  is  discharged  from  a 
hospital  and  the  time  this  information  is  received  by 
SSA  and  posted  to  central  records.  Therefore,  the 
counts  for  this  report  understate  the  total  numlber  of 
discharges  for  each  diagnosis.  An  additional  small 
number  of  discharges,  approximately  30,000,  were  also 
excluded,  i.e.,  emergency  admissions  to  hospitals  not 
participating  in  the  Medicare  program. 

A  complete  count  of  all  Medicare  discharges  from 
short-stay  hospitals  in  1971  would  be  about  6.1  million, 
7  percent  more  than  the  total  figure  used  in  this  study. 
Since  this  proportion  represents  such  a  small  element 
in  the  universe  this  difference  would  not  be  expected  to 
have  a  significant  effect  on  the  data.  The  date  shown  by 
geographic  division  were  summarized  by  address  of  the 
hospital  providing  care,  not  the  residence  of  the  bene- 
ficiary. Included  in  the  totals  are  the  50  States  and  the 
District  of  Columbia. 

The  data  in  this  report  are  estimates  derived  from  a 
sample  of  bills  and  therefore  are  subject  to  sampling 
variability.  The  effect  of  sampling  variability  will  be 
discussed  in  the  section  on  "Uses  of  the  Data."  Smaller 
numbers  in  table  cells  are  generally  subject  to  greater 
variability  than  larger  estimates.  An  asterisk  (*)  ap- 
pears in  place  of  the  estimate  in  the  tatble,  where  there 
were  five  or  fewer  cases  in  the  sample. 


IVIedical  Coding 

Participating  hospitals  use  standard  billing  forms 
(SSA-1453)  to  identify  the  beneficiary  and  specify  the 
services  rendered  during  the  stay  (see  Figure  1  for  a 
facsimile  of  the  billing  form).  The  billing  form  includes 
a  space  for  the  entry  by  the  hospital  of  a  detailed 
description  of  the  patient's  primary  diagnosis  at  the 
time  of  discharge.  Primary  diagnosis  is  defined  as  the 
primary  reason  for  the  patient's  hospitalization,  i.e., 
the  condition  requiring  the  current  hospitalization. 
Space  is  also  provided  for  the  entry  of  any  secondary 
diagnoses.  The  name  and  date  of  any  surgical  pro- 
cedure performed  during  the  hospital  stay  is  also 
recorded. 

The  primary  discharge  diagnosis  on  each  bill  in  the 
20-percent  sample  with  a  discharge  date  of  January  1, 
1971,  or  after  is  coded  using  the  International  Classifi- 
cation of  Diseases,  Adapted — Eighth  Revision  (ICDA- 
8). 2  Four-digit  codes  are  assigned  for  each  primary 
diagnosis.  If  more  than  one  diagnosis  appears  on  the 
bill  and  there  is  no  indication  of  which  diagnosis  is 
primary,  the  first  diagnosis  listed  is  coded.  The  only 
exception  to  this  rule  is  when  a  symptom  or  ill-defined 
condition  is  listed  first.  In  this  case,  preference  is  given 
to  the  more  substantive  diagnosis  appearing  second. 
The  presence  or  absence  of  additional  diagnoses  is 
indicated  by  a  one-digit  code.  Data  in  previous  reports 
for  years  prior  to  1971  were  based  on  the  Seventh 
Revision  of  ICDA.s 

Surgical  procedures  are  also  coded  on  each  sample 
bill  on  which  one  or  more  surgical  procedures  are  re- 
ported. Codes  are  assigned  using  the  Current  Pro- 
cedural Terminology  (CPT)  manual.*  When  two  or 
more  surgical  procedures  appear  on  a  bill,  the  first 
listed  surgical  procedure  is  coded.  However,  if  the  first 
listed  procedure  is  primarily  diagnostic  in  nature,  such 
as  an  endoscopic  procedure  or  biopsy,  coding  preference 
is  given  to  more  serious  procedures  such  as  resections, 
removals,  repairs,  etc.  The  CPT  defines  surgery  to  in- 
clude procedures  involving  incision,  excision,  amputa- 
tion, introduction,  endoscopy,  repair,  destruction,  su- 
ture, manipulation,  and  surgical  collapse  therapy. 

The  CPT  was  changed  somewhat  from  its  published 
format  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  Medicare  program.  In 
addition,  descriptions  of  surgical  procedures  that  were 
worded  differently  than  the  rubrics  in  the  CPT  were 
often  reported  on  bills.  If  the  description  for  a  parti- 
cular procedure  occurred  often  enough,  it  was  added  to 
the  CPT  for  coding  purposes.  For  these  additions,  care

was  exercised  to  assure  that  the  CPT  numerical  code 
categories  were  not  changed,  i.e.,  the  definitions  of 
specific  codes  were  neither  broadened  or  narrowed  by 
the  additional  descriptive  entries. 

Medical  coding  is  done  by  personnel  of  the  Social 
Security  Administration  who  have  completed  special 
training  in  anatomy  and  medical  terminology  and  the 
use  of  the  statistical  coding  manuals.  Also,  review  of 
the  coding  is  carried  out  with  the  assistance  of  skilled 
personnel  including  medical  record  technicians  and 
registered  record  librarians. 

Uses  of  the  Data 

The  presentation  of  length  of  stay  patterns  in  this 
report  is  intended  to  aid  in  the  examination  of  hospital 
utilization  by  providing  statistics  which  can  be  used  to 
reflect  the  experience  of  hospitals  in  various  parts  of 
the  country  under  the  Medicare  program.  Individual 
hospitals  or  other  organizations  involved  in  reviewing 
hospital  utilization  can  use  the  data  as  a  guide  to  ex- 
pected or  typical  lengths  of  stay  patterns  in  hospitals 
in  their  geographic  area  and  can  compare  their  own 
figures  with  those  reported. 

Average  length  of  stay  for  a  group  of  comparable 
cases  is  a  traditional  measure  of  typical  hospital  prac- 
tice. To  make  comparisons  of  the  duration  of  average 
stays,  individual  hospitals  might  consider  the  figures 
for  a  particular  geographic  area  as  the  "population" 
with  which  patients  with  specific  diagnoses  and  dis- 
charge characteristics  are  to  be  compared.  Table  B  can 
be  used  to  determine  whether  average  lengths  of  stay 
in  individual  hospitals  differ  significantly  from  those 
shown  for  the  geographic  area  in  which  the  hospital  is 
located.  For  example,  suppose  an  individual  hospital  in 
Massachusetts  has  five  cases  in  a  specific  diagnostic, 
age,  etc.,  category  with  an  average  length  of  stay  of  10 
days.  This  hospital  wishes  to  compare  its  data  with 
that  for  the  geographic  division  in  which  it  is  located. 
From  this  report  it  is  shown  that  the  average  length 
of  stay  for  the  same  specific  diagnostic,  age  category  in 
the  New  England  States  was  8  days.  It  is  assumed  that 

Table  B. — Approximate  standard  error  of  mean  length-of-stay 


the  cases  from  individual  hospitals  represent  a  sample 
of  the  "population"  reported  for  the  geographic  area. 

The  standard  error  for  a  sample  of  five  cases  with  an 
average  length  of  stay  of  8  days  is  found  to  be  3.6  days 
using  table  B.  Since  8  days  is  not  one  of  the  average 
lengths  of  stay  shown  in  the  table,  linear  interpolation 
is  used  to  arrive  at  the  standard  error,  i.e.,  (8-7)/(10- 
7)  =  1/3.  This  figure  applied  to  the  difference  in  the 
respective  standard  errors  (4.5  —  3.1)  gives  1/3  (1.4) 
4-  3.1.  =  3.6  days.  The  difference  between  the  observed 
cases  of  10  days  and  the  hypothesized  length  of  stay 
from  the  regional  data  (8  days)  is  2  days,  well  below 
the  standard  error  of  3.6  days.  The  observed  difference 
would  not  be  regarded  as  significant  since  the  differ- 
ence could  be  attributable  to  chance  factors  alone.  In 
fact,  given  a  sample  of  five  cases  the  observed  difference 
would  be  significant  at  the  95  percent  confidence  level 
only  if  it  exceeded  7.2  days  or  two  standard  errors. 

Table  B  may  also  be  used  for  the  construction  of 
confidence  intervals  for  the  tabled  values  of  length  of 
stay.  For  this  purpose,  since  the  number  of  discharges 
shown  in  the  General  Tables  are  the  inflated  sample 
numbers,  it  is  necessary  to  divide  these  by  five  to  secure 
the  actual  size  of  sample  for  entering  Table  B. 

Percentiles  are  also  provided  in  the  General  Tables 
for  each  patient  group  to  give  some  indication  of  the 
variability  of  the  length  of  stay  data.  If  the  75th  per- 
centile shovTn  in  the  tables  for  a  particular  diagnostic, 
age,  surgical  group  is  9  days,  then  75  percent  of  the 
patients  in  that  group  stayed  9  days  or  less.  Similarly, 
if  the  90th  percentile  is  14  days,  then  90  percent  stayed 
14  days  or  less. 

The  percentile  distribution  may  be  used  as  a  screen 
to  identify  cases  with  unusually  long  or  short  lengths  of 
stay.  Long  lengths  of  stay  may  indicate  possible  over- 
utilization.  Thus,  hospitals  may  wish  to  look  at  every 
case  in  a  particular  group  where  the  length  of  stay 
exceeds  the  figure  shown  in  the  tables  for  the  90th 
percentile.  Very  short  lengths  of  stay  may  indicate  un- 
necessary admissions.  Thus,  hospitals  may  vsdsh  to  look 
at  the  cases  falling  below  the  figure  shown  for  the  10th 
percentile.

Provisions  of  the  Law  and  Regulations 


The  Medicare  program,  enacted  on  July  30,  1965  as 
Title  XVIII  of  the  Social  Security  Act,  became  effective 
on  July  1,  1966.  The  program  makes  available  two  sepa- 
rate but  coordinated  insurance  coverages-hospital  in- 
surance, covering  nearly  all  persons  aged  65  and  over, 
and  supplementary  medical  insurance,  covering  those 
persons  in  this  age  group  who  enroll  voluntarily  and  pay 
the  premium. 


Hospital  Insurance  Program 

The  hospital  insurance  (HI)  program  pays  for  part  of 
the  costs  of  inpatient  hospital  care  and  related  health 
care  services  provided  by  extended  care  facilities  and 
home  health  agencies  following  a  period  of  hospitaliza- 
tion. For  the  services  to  be  covered,  they  must  be  pro- 
vided by  institutions  and  organizations  which  have  been 
certified  as  qualified  providers  of  services  and  which 
have  signed  an  agreement  to  participate  in  the  pro- 
gram. ^  An  exception  exists  under  special  provisions  for 
hospitals  certified  to  provide  only  emergency  services. 

As  described  in  more  detail  below,  the  program  is 
financed  by  a  tax  on  a  portion  of  current  earnings  and, 
to  a  certain  extent,  by  general  tax  revenues. 


BENEFITS 

The  law  provides  maximum  limits  on  the  benefits 
which  may  be  covered  under  the  HI  program.  These 
limits  are  established  based  on  the  concept  of  a  "benefit 
period."  A  benefit  period  begins  with  the  first  day  of 
hospitalization  and  ends  when  the  individual  has  not 
been  a  bed  patient  in  a  hospital  or  skUled  nursing  home 
for  60  continuous  days. 

Requirements  for  payment  by  the  individual  of  an 
inpatient  hospital  deductible  and  coinsurance  amounts 
also  are  established  by  law,  with  the  Secretary  of 
Health,  Education  and  Welfare  authorized  to  set  the  de- 
ductible amount  each  year  in  accordance  with  a  speci- 


iPor  certification  requirements  see  Social  Security  Adminis- 
tration, Medicare:  Health  Insurance  for  the  Aged,  1968,  Sec- 
tion 3:  Participating  Providers  (Washington,  D.C. :  U.S.  Govern- 
ment Printing  Office,  1971). 


fied  procedure.  By  law,  the  deductible  amount  auto- 
matically determines  the  coinsurance  amounts  for  each 
type  of  service  under  the  HI  part  of  the  program. 

Inpatient  hospital  benefits.— Covered  hospital  services 
include  room  and  board  in  accommodations  containing 
from  two  to  four  beds,  nursing  services  (except  for 
private-duty  nursing),  drugs  and  biologicals,  and  all 
those  services  ordinarily  furnished  by  a  hospital  to  its 
inpatients.  The  program  does  not  cover  the  services  of 
physicians  (including  staff  radiologists,  anesthesiologists, 
pathologists  and  physiatrists)  except  for  services  pro- 
vided by  interns  or  residents  under  approved  teaching 
programs  in  a  hospital. 

The  program  pays  for  the  "reasonable  costs"  of  cov- 
ered services  in  a  participating  hospital  for  up  to  90  days 
in  a  "benefit  period."  Full  payment  is  made  for  the  first 
60  days  of  hospitalization  less  the  deductible  of  $60  for 
services  received  in  benefit  periods  starting  in  1971.  For 
each  of  the  remaining  30  days  in  the  benefit  period,  the 
patient  pays  a  coinsurance  amount  of  $15  a  day  (one- 
fourth  of  the  inpatient  hospital  deductible). 

Each  hospital  insurance  beneficiary  also  has  a  "life- 
time reserve"  of  60  additional  hospital  days,  which  can 
be  used  at  his  option  whenever  he  has  exhausted  the  90 
days  covered  in  a  benefit  period.  Lifetime  reserve  days 
are  subject  to  a  copayment  of  $30  a  day  (one-half  of  the 
inpatient  hospital  deductible). 

The  cost  of  the  first  three  pints  of  blood  (or  equiva- 
lent amounts  of  packed  red  blood  cells)  furnished  a  pa- 
tient during  a  benefit  period  is  also  deductible  unless  the 
patient  arranges  for  replacement.  Charges  for  any  addi- 
tional blood  are  covered  under  the  program. 

The  program  also  pays  for  emergency  services  in  a 
non participating  hospital.  Each  nonparticipating  hos- 
pital providing  emergency  services  elects  whether  to 
claim  payments  from  the  Medicare  program  or  from  the 
beneficiary  for  emergency  services  rendered  benefici- 
aries in  a  given  year.  If  the  hospital  elects  to  bill  the 
program,  reimbursement  is  made  under  the  program  as 
described  above.  In  other  cases,  the  beneficiary  claims 
direct  payment  and  submits  the  itemized  bill  to  Social 
Security  Administration.  In  this  case,  reimbursement  is 
based  on  reasonable  charges  for  covered  services  and 
amounts  to  60  percent  of  reasonable  charges  for  room 
and  board  plus  80  percent  of  such  charges  for  ancillary 
services.  Payment  is  subject  to  the  deductible  and  coin- 
surance provisions  of  the  law.

Inpatient  tuberculosis  and  psychiatric  hospital  serv- 
ices are  covered  ds  hospital  insurance  benefits.  However, 
there  is  a  lifetime  limit  of  190  days  of  care  in  a  psychi- 
atric hospital.  Where  an  individual  is  a  patient  in  a  par- 
ticipating psychiatric  hospital  at  the  time  he  becomes 
entitled  to  hospital  insurance,  the  number  of  days  he 
was  such  an  inpatient  in  the  150-day  period  immedi- 
ately prior  to  his  eligibility  are  deducted  from  his  days 
of  entitlement  to  inpatient  psychiatric  care  in  that  bene- 
fit period  but  not  from  the  lifetime  limitation. 

Extended  care  facility  benefits.— Cowexed  extended 
care  services  may  include  nursing  care;  bed  and  board; 
physical,  occupational  or  speech  therapy;  drugs  and  bio- 
logicals;  medical  services  of  an  intern  or  resident-in- 
training  of  a  hospital  having  a  transfer  agreement  with 
the  extended  care  facility  (ECF);  and  other  necessary 
health  care  services  generally  provided  by  extended  care 
facilities. 

The  program  pays  for  the  reasonable  cost  of  all  cov- 
ered inpatient  services  in  participating  ECF's  for  up  to 
100  days  in  a  benefit  period.  Benefits  are  payable  only 
followdng  discharge  from  a  hospital  after  a  stay  of  3 
consecutive  days  or  more,  provided  admission  to  an 
ECF  occurs  within  14  days  of  discharge.  Full  payment  is 
made  for  the  first  20  days.  For  each  of  the  remaining  80 
days,  the  patient  pays  a  coinsurance  amount  of  $7.50  a 
day  (one-eighth  of  the  inpatient  hospital  deductible)  as 
required  by  law. 

Post-hospital  home  health  benefits.— Covered  home 
health  services  may  include  part-time  or  intermittent 
nursing  care;  physical,  occupational,  or  speech  therapy; 
part-time  or  intermittent  services  of  a  home  health  aide; 
medical  supplies  (other  than  drugs  and  biologicals)  and 
the  use  of  medical  appliances;  and,  in  certain  cases,  serv- 
ices of  an  intern  or  resident-in-training  of  a  teaching 
hospital.  The  services  must  be  furnished  by  or  under 
arrangements  of  an  approved  home  health  agency. 

Coverage  under  HI  provides  for  payment  of  the  rea- 
sonable cost  of  up  to  100  home  health  visits  after  the 
beginning  of  one  benefit  period  and  before  the  be- 
ginning of  the  next.  In  addition,  the  visits  must  occur  in 
the  year  following  a  beneficiary's  most  recent  discharge 
from  a  hospital  stay  of  at  least  3  consecutive  days  or 
from  a  covered  ECF  stay.  A  home  health  plan  must  be 
established  by  the  patient's  physician  within  14  days 
after  the  hospital  or  ECF  discharge.  The  home  health 
services  must  be  necessary  for  further  treatment  of  a 
condition  for  which  the  patient  received  services  in  the 
hospital  or  ECF. 


Suppiementary  Medical 


Insurance  Program 


The  supplementary  medical  insurance  (SMI)  program 
provides  coverage  for  a  variety  of  medical  services  and 
supplies  furnished  by  physicians  or  others  in  connection 
with  physicians'  services.  Individuals  65  years  of  age  and 


over  may  enroll  in  the  program  regardless  of  whether 
they  are  eligible  for  monthly  social  security  benefits. 
Premiums  are  paid  by  or  on  behalf  of  all  enrollees,  and 
are  matched  by  the  Federal  government  from  general 
revenues. 


BENEFITS 

Physicians'  services  covered  under  the  program  in- 
clude home,  hospital,  and  office  visits.  The  program  also 
pays  for  other  services  and  supplies,  such  as:  drugs  and 
biologicals  that  cannot  be  self-administered  if  they  are 
furnished  as  a  part  of  a  physician's  professional  service; 
diagnostic  X-ray  tests,  diagnostic  laboratory  tests,  and 
other  diagnostic  tests;  X-ray,  radium,  and  radioactive  iso- 
tope therapy,  including  materials  and  the  services  of 
technicians;  surgical  dressings,  splints,  casts,  and  other 
devices  used  for  reduction  of  fractures  and  dislocations; 
purchase  or  rental  of  durable  medical  equipment  such  as 
oxygen  tents,  hospital  beds,  and  wheel-chairs  used  in  the 
patient's  home  (including  an  institution  used  as  his 
home);  ambulance  service  where  the  use  of  other 
methods  of  transportation  is  contraindicated  by  the  in- 
dividual's condition;  prosthetic  devices  (other  than 
dental)  that  replace  all  or  part  of  an  internal  organ;  leg, 
arm,  back,  and  neck  braces;  artificial  legs,  arms  and 
eyes,  including  replacement  if  required  because  of  a 
change  in  the  patient's  physical  condition;  and  home 
health  visits  provided  by  a  certified  home  health  agency 
in  accordance  with  a  home  health  plan  established  by 
the  patient's  physician  (no  prior  hospitalization  is  neces- 
sary). Payment  may  be  made  up  to  100  home  health 
visits  in  a  calendar  year  vnthout  regard  to  similar  serv- 
ices received  under  the  HI  program. 

Also  covered  are  hospital  services  incident  to  physi- 
cians' services  rendered  to  outpatients,  and  outpatient 
physical  therapy  services. 

In  each  calendar  year  a  deductible  of  $50  must  be 
satisfied  before  payment  may  be  made  under  the  SMI 
program  (with  one  exception  noted  below).  Bills  count 
tov/ard  the  deductible  on  the  basis  of  incurred  rather 
than  paid  expenses;  only  charges  allowed  under  the  pro- 
gram count  towards  the  deductible.  To  preclude  the 
possibility  of  a  beneficiary  having  to  meet  a  deductible 
twice  in  a  short  period  of  time,  a  "carryover"  provision 
is  applied.  Accordingly,  covered  expenses  incurred  in 
the  last  quarter  of  the  year  and  counted  towards  the 
deductible  in  that  year  are  also  credited  toward  the  de- 
ductible for  the  following  year. 

After  the  deductible  has  been  met,  the  SMI  program 
pays  for  80  percent  of  the  allowed  (reasonable)  charges 
for  covered  physician  services  and  most  other  medical 
services.  However,  deductible  and  coinsurance  require- 
ments do  not  apply  to  the  services  of  radiologists  and 
pathologists  furnished  to  hospital  inpatients.  "Reason- 
able" charges  for  such  services  are  completely  reim- 
bursed. Hospital  services  incident  to  outpatient  care, 
and  home  health  services  are  subject  to  the  deductible, 
and  are  reimbursed  on  the  basis  of  80  percent  of  reason- 
able costs. 


Xlll 


The  law  sets  special  limits  on  the  payment  which  may 
be  made  for  outpatient  treatment  of  mental  illness:  rec- 
ognition of  incurred  expenses  is  limited  to  the  lesser  of 
$312.50  or  62.5  percent  of  actual  expenses  in  a  calendar 
year.  Since  only  80  percent  of  allowed  charges  may  be 
reimbursed,  the  effect  is  to  limit  payment  to  $250  or  50 
percent  of  the  allowed  charges  in  any  year  after  the 
deductible  has  been  met,  whichever  is  less. 


Eligibility 


The  hospital  insurance  program.— Almost  all  persons 
aged  65  and  over  are  eligible  for  benefits  imder  the  hos- 
pital insurance  program.  Included  are  those  persons  in 
this  age  group  who  are  entitled  to  monthly  social  secu- 
rity cash  benefits  or  payments  from  the  railroad  retire- 
ment system.  Further,  a  special  transitional  provision 
provides  eligibility  for  certain  persons  who  do  not  qual- 
ify for  monthly  cash  benefits  on  the  basis  of  their  own 
wage  record  or  as  a  dependent  or  survivor  of  an  insured 
worker.  The  provision  applies,  generally,  to  persons  age 
65  or  over  who  (1)  attained  age  65  before  1968  or  (2) 
attained  age  65  after  1967  with  not  less  than  three  quar- 
ters of  social  security  coverage,  whenever  acquired,  for 
each  calendar  year  elapsing  after  1966  and  before  the 
year  in  which  he  attains  age  65.  For  persons  who  reach 
age  65  after  1968,  the  amount  of  work  credits  (quarters 
of  coverage)  needed  increases  by  three  quarters  each 
year-six  quarters  are  needed  by  those  who  reached  age 
65  in  1969,  nine  by  those  who  reached  age  65  in  1970 
and  so  on. 

Federal  employees  who  retired  from  the  Federal  serv- 
ice after  July  1,  1960,  and  who  had  the  opportunity  to 
be  covered  under  the  Federal  Employees  Health  Bene- 
fits Act  of  1959,  are  ineligible  for  hospital  insurance 
benefits  under  the  transitional  provisions.  Also  ineligible 
are  aliens  with  less  than  5  years  of  continuous  residence 
in  the  United  States,  and  those  persons  convicted  of 
crimes  against  the  security  of  the  United  States. 

Hospital  insurance  protection  can  be  retroactive  for 
as  many  as  12  months  before  the  month  an  individual 
files  his  application  for  entitlement.  For  example,  an 
individual  may  apply  11  months  after  he  attains  age  65 
and  still  be  entitled  to  benefits  from  the  month  he  at- 
tained age  65. 

Supplementary  medical  insurance.— Persons  entitled 
to  benefits  under  the  hospital  insurance  program,  retired 
federal  employees,  and  persons  not  eligible  for  hospital 
insurance  under  the  transitional  provisions  may  volun- 
tarily participate  in  the  SMI  program. 

£^nro//menf.— Individuals  may  enroll  in  the  SMI  pro- 
gram only  during  specified  periods~the  initial  and  the 
general  enrollment  periods.  The  initial  enrollment 
period  begins  with  the  third  month  preceding  the  one  in 
which  an  individual  attains  age  65  and  ends  3  months 
after  the  month  of  attainment,  a  total  period  of  7 
months.  If  he  enrolls  during  the  3  months  prior  to  the 
month  in  which  he  attains  age  65,  his  cover^e  is  effec- 


tive with  the  month  in  which  he  attains  age  65;  if  he 
enrolls  during  the  month  he  attains  age  65,  his  coverage 
begins  the  following  month;  if  he  enrolls  in  any  of  the  3 
months  after  he  attains  age  65,  his  coverage  begins  from 
2  to  3  months  after  enrollment,  depending  on  how  long 
he  waited  before  enrolling. 

Beginning  with  1969,  there  are  general  enrollment 
periods  from  January  1  throu^  March  31  of  each  year 
for  those  who  did  not  enroll  in  their  initial  enrollment 
period,  or  who  previously  terminated  their  enrollment 
and  wish  to  re-enroll.  For  1969  and  later  years,  a  person 
who  enrolls  during  a  general  enrollment  period  becomes 
covered  under  SMI  beginning  with  July  1  of  the  year  in 
which  he  enrolls.  An  eligible  individual  must  enroll 
within  3  years  after  the  end  of  his  initial  enrollment 
period  or  within  3  years  after  termination  of  prior  en- 
rollment. Re-enrollment  is  allowed  only  once. 

A  State  may  enroll  otherwise  eligible  individuals  who 
receive  cash  payments  under  public  assistance  programs 
or  are  otherwise  eh^ble  for  medical  assistance  under 
Title  XIX  if  a)  prior  to  January  1,  1970  the  State  re- 
quested that  a  State-Federal  enrollment  agreement  be 
established  and  b)  the  State  pays  the  necessary  pre- 
miums. Enrollment  terminates  with  the  beginning  of  the 
month  following  the  month  of  death.  Social  Security 
and  railroad  retirement  beneficiaries  may  give  notice  of 
their  desire  to  withdraw  from  the  SMI  program  at  any 
time  and  their  coverage  will  be  terminated  at  the  close 
of  the  following  calendar  quarter.  Other  enrolled  per- 
sons may  terminate  their  coverage  by  witholding  pay- 
ment of  premiums  or  by  notifying  the  Social  Security 
Administration  in  writing  of  the  desire  to  withdraw 
from  the  program.  The  enrollee  is  provided  a  90-day 
grace  period  for  the  payment  of  overdue  premiums  after 
which  coverage  is  automatically  terminated. 


Financing  the  Program 

Hospital  insurance.— The  hospital  insurance  program 
is  financed  primarily  through  a  schedule  of  increasing 
tax  rates  on  a  portion  of  current  earnings  in  employ- 
ment covered  under  the  Social  Security  Act.  The  maxi- 
mum amount  of  annual  earnings  to  which  the  rates  are 
applied  began  at  $6,600  for  calendar  year  1966;  it  in- 
creased to  $7,800  effective  with  1968  and  $9,000  be- 
ginning with  1972. 

The  same  tax  rate  applies  to  employees,  employers, 
and  self-employed  persons.  The  rate  was  0.60  percent 
for  each  year  1968-72.  The  proceeds  of  this  tax,  and 
monies  collected  from  the  railroad  retirement  system 
(with  respect  to  the  coverage  of  railroad  retirement  ben- 
eficiaries) are  placed  in  a  Hospital  Insurance  Trust  Fund 
from  which  reimbursement  for  all  benefits  and  adminis- 
trative expenses  incurred  under  the  hospital  insurance 
program  is  made.  The  Hospital  Insurance  Trust  Fund  is 
reimbursed  from  general  tax  revenues  for  the  cost  of 
providing  coverage  for  the  persons  who  qualify  for  hos- 
pital insurance  under  the  transitional  provisions.  For 
1971,  there  were  about  one  million  such  persons,  a  de- 
crease from  the  2.6  miUion  who  so  qualified  in  1966. 


XIV 


Supplementary  medical  insurance.— Piemixxms  are 
paid  into  the  Federal  Supplementary  Medical  Insurance 
Trust  Fund  by  those  persons  enrolled  for  supplementary 
medical  insurance  (or  on  their  behalf),  and  a  matching 
amount  is  paid  by  the  Federal  Government  from  general 
revenues.  Benefits  and  administrative  costs  are  paid 
from  monies  in  the  SMI  Trust  Fund. 

The  premiums  of  persons  receiving  social  security 
cash  benefits,  railroad  retirement,  or  Federal  Civil  Serv- 
ice annuities  are  deducted  from  their  monthly  benefit 
checks.  Persons  not  receiving  monthly  benefits  are  billed 
quarterly  for  premiums  by  the  Social  Security  Adminis- 
tration or  the  Railroad  Retirement  Board  and  have  a 
90-day  grace  period  in  which  to  make  payment.  Pre- 
miums may  be  paid  for  as  long  as  a  year  in  advance,  and 
for  individuals  financially  unable  to  make  quarterly  pay- 
ments, arrangements  can  be  made  for  monthly  pay- 
ments. 

Amount  of  premium.— The  Secetary  of  HEW  is  di- 
rected by  law  to  determine  the  SMI  basic  premium  rate 
on  an  annual  basis.  The  dollar  amount  is  required  to  be 
sufficient  to  produce  revenue  equal  to  one  half  of  the 
expected  benefit  and  administrative  costs  payable  under 
SMI  during  the  period  for  which  the  premium  rate  ap- 
plies. The  rate  is  determined  in  December  of  each  year 
and  is  applicable  for  12  months  beginning  with  the  fol- 
lowing July. 

The  premium  rate  in  the  first  half  of  1971  was  $5.30 
per  month.  The  rate  was  raised  to  $5.60  effective  July 
1971. 


Administration  of  the  Program 

Hospital  insurance.— Under  the  hospital  insurance 
part  of  the  program,  groups  or  associations  of  providers, 
on  behalf  of  their  members,  may  nominate  a  national. 
State,  or  other  public  or  private  agency  or  organization 
to  serve  as  intermediary  in  the  claims  process.  A  mem- 
ber of  an  association  is  free,  however,  to  receive  pay- 
ment from  an  approved  intermediary  other  than  its  as- 
sociation's nominee,  if  approved  by  the  Secretary  and 
E^eeable  to  the  intermediary  selected.  In  addition,  a 
provider  may  deal  directly  with  the  Social  Security  Ad- 
ministration. 

The  Secretary  may  enter  into  an  agreement  with  a 
nominated  organization  if  he  finds  this  to  be  consistent 
with  effective  and  efficient  administration  of  the  hos- 
pital insurance  program.  The  intermediary  makes  pay- 
ments to  providers  for  covered  items  and  services  on  the 
basis  of  reasonable  cost  determinations  and  assists  in  the 
application  of  safeguards  against  unnecessary  utilization 
of  covered  services.  The  agreement  may  also  call  for  (1) 
furnishing  consultative  services  to  assist  providers  to  es- 
tablish and  maintain  necessary  fiscal  records  and  other- 
wise qualify  as  providers  of  services,  (2)  serving  as  a 
center  for  communicating  with  providers,  and  (3) 
making  audits  of  provider  records.  Hospital  insurance 
intermediaries  also  make  payments  for  home  health  and 
outpatient  hospital  services  covered  under  medical  in- 
surance. 


Requests  for  Medicare  payment  for  covered  services 
generally  are  submitted  by  the  provider  of  services;  they 
must  be  signed  by  the  beneficiary  (or  someone  for  him, 
if  he  is  unable  to  do  so).  The  provider  is  reimbursed  on 
the  basis  of  reasonable  costs  of  covered  services  and  bills 
the  beneficiary  for  deductible  and  coinsurance  amounts 
as  well  as  for  services  not  covered  by  the  program. 

In  some  instances,  hospitals  may  biU  the  program  for 
physician  services  rendered  to  inpatients.  In  these  cases, 
payment  is  made  by  the  HI  intermediary.  Depending  on 
the  nature  of  the  billing,  funds  are  transferred  from  the 
SMI  trust  fund  to  the  HI  trust  fund  to  cover  the  cost  of 
these  services,  or  are  paid  directly  from  the  SMI  trust 
fund. 

The  intermediary  selected  by  the  provider  reviews 
claims  for  payment  and  pays  the  provider.  Actual  pay- 
ment is  made  on  the  basis  of  an  interim  rate  established 
between  the  provider  and  the  intermediary.  Final  settle- 
ment for  each  provider's  operating  year  is  made  on  the 
basis  of  a  cost  report  submitted  by  the  provider,  and 
subject  to  an  independent  audit. 

No  payments  can  be  made  to  Federal  facilities  except 
for  emergency  services,  unless  the  provider  serves  as  a 
community  institution.  In  addition,  payment  cannot  be 
made  to  a  provider  for  those  services  it  is  obligated  to 
render  at  public  expense  under  Federal  law  or  contract. 

Supplementary  medical  insurance.— Under  the  medi- 
cal insurance  program,  the  Secretary  of  Health,  Educa- 
tion, and  Welfare  may  enter  into  contracts  with  carriers 
for  the  performance  of  specified  administrative  func- 
tions. The  carriers'  principal  fimction  is  to  determine 
whether  charges  are  allowable  (reasonable)  and  to  make 
payment.  Carriers  also  have  the  authority  and  responsi- 
bility to  determine,  in  a  given  case,  whether  a  claim  is 
for  a  covered  service  and  to  deny  claims  for  noncovered 
or  excluded  items  or  services.  In  addition,  carriers  are  to 
assist  in  the  application  of  safeguards  against  unneces- 
sary utilization  of  services. 

The  law  requires  that  in  determining  allowed  (reason- 
able) charges,  carriers  should  take  into  account  the  cus- 
tomary charges  of  physicians  and  other  suppliers  of 
medical  services  and  the  prevailing  charges  in  the  lo- 
cality for  similar  services.  The  law  also  specifies  that  the 
allowed  (reasonable)  charge  for  a  service  may  not  ex- 
ceed the  charge  applicable  for  a  similar  service  and 
under  comparable  circumstances  to  the  carrier's  own 
policyholders  and  subscribers.  The  allowed  charge, 
therefore,  is  a  charge  for  a  service  which  in  the  absence 
of  unusual  circ\imstances  or  medical  complications  is 
the  lowest  of  the  following:  (1)  the  actual  charge  of  the 
physician  or  other  person  rendering  the  service,  (2)  the 
charge  the  physician  or  other  person  customarily  makes 
for  similar  services,  (3)  the  prevailing  charges  in  the  lo- 
cality for  similar  services. 

Customary  and  prevailing  charges  are  recalculated 
each  fiscal  year  based  on  charges  in  the  calendar  year 
preceding  the  start  of  the  fiscal  year.  Beginning  January 
1.  1971,  the  upper  limit  of  prevailing  charges  was  set  by 
regulation  at  the  75th  percentile  of  the  customary 
charges  (weighted  by  frequency)  made  for  similar  serv- 
ices. Thus,  increases  in  prevailing  charges  recognized  by 


3CV 


the  carriers  beginning  in  January  1971  were  limited  to 
the  levels  established  by  the  75th  percentile  of  calendar 
year  1969  customary  charges.  Similary,  increases  in  pre- 
vailing charges  recognized  by  carriers  beginning  July  1, 
1971,  have  been  limited  to  the  75th  percentile  of  calen- 
dar year  1970  customary  charges. 

Claims  for  payment  of  SMI  benefits  may  be  sub- 
mitted to  the  carrier  either  by  the  patient  or  by  the 
physician  or  other  supplier  of  services.  If  the  patient 
submits  a  claim  (an  itemized  bill)  directly  to  the  carrier, 
he  receives  direct  payment  of  benefits  for  covered  serv- 
ices; he  remains  responsible  for  the  physician's  (or  sup- 
plier's) bill.  The  patient  may  assign  the  benefits  to  a 
physician  or  other  supplier  of  services  v/illing  to  accept 
assignment.  In  this  case,  the  physician  (or  supplier) 
agrees  that  the  allowed  or  reasonable  charge  determined 
by  the  carrier  is  the  total  charge.  The  physician  (or  sup- 
plier) submits  the  bill  and  is  reimbursed.  In  this  situ- 
ation, the  patient  remains  responsible  for  the  remaining 
20  percent  of  the  allowed  charges  for  covered  services 
and  the  $50  deductible  (if  applicable  to  the  current 
bill).

plans  (GPPP)  to  members  are  normally  rendered  in  re- 
turn for  predetermined  premium  payments.  In  these 
cases  Medicare  reimbursement  is  made  directly  to  the 
GPPP.  A  GPPP  which  exercises  the  option  provided  by 
law  to  be  paid  80  percent  of  the  reasonable  cost  of 
services  (in  lieu  of  80  percent  of  the  allowed  charge  for 
such  services)  generally  deals  directly  with  the  Social 
Security  Administration.  Plans  which  choose  to  be  paid 
on  the  basis  of  allowed  charges  are  reimbursed  by  the 
SMI  carrier. 

The  1967  amendments  to  the  Social  Security  Act  in- 
troduced a  time  limit  on  filing  of  claims.  For  bills  in- 
curred in  the  supplementary  medical  insurance  portion 
of  the  program  after  March  1968,  claims  must  be  filed 
no  later  than  the  close  of  the  calendar  year  following 
the  year  in  which  the  services  are  furnished.  For  services 
provided  during  the  last  3  months  of  the  calendar  year, 
bills  may  be  submitted  through  the  end  of  the  second 
year  following.

General  Tables 


Notes 

Health  Insurance  for  the  Aged:  The  program,  com- 
monly known  as  Medicare,  that  pays  for  part  of  the 
costs  of  hospital  and  medical  services  for  participating 
persons  aged  65  and  over. 

Short-Stay  Hospital:  General  and  special  hospitals 
certified  as  participating  facilities  under  Medicare  and 
reporting  average  lengths  of  stay  of  less  than  30  days. 

Discharge:  The  formal  release  of  an  inpatient  from 
a  hospital.  Includes  those  persons  vi^ho  died  during  their 
hospitalization,  or  were  transferred  to  other  hospitals. 

Length  of  Stay:  The  number  of  days  of  care  for  a 
discharge.  The  day  of  discharge  is  not  counted  as  a 
day  of  care.  A  hospitalization  of  less  than  1  day  (i.e., 
the  patient  is  admitted  and  discharged  on  the  same 
day)  is  counted  as  1  day. 

Primary  Discharge  Diagnosis:  The  illness,  condition, 
or  injury  recorded  on  the  patient's  billing  form  by  the 
hospital  as  the  primary  diagnosis  at  the  time  of  dis- 
charge. This  diagnosis  is  coded  using  the  International 
Classification  of  Disease,  Ada/pted,  Eighth  Revision. 

Age:  The  number  of  completed  years  at  last  birthday 
in  month  of  admission  to  the  hospital. 

Percentile:  The  10th,  25th,  50th,  TSth  and  90th  per- 
centiles of  stay  are  presented.  The  50th  percentile  is 
the  median  of  the  distribution.  That  is,  half  of  the  stays 
fall  above  and  below  the  median  of  the  distribution. 
The  meaning  of  the  percentiles  can  be  illustrated  by 
example:  If  the  10th  percentile  for  a  group  of  dis- 
charges is  2  days,  then  10  percent  of  the  discharges 
stay  2  days  or  less. 

With  and  Without  Surgery:  A  discharge  is  consid- 
ered to  involve  surgery  if  any  operative  procedure 
classified  as  such,  according  to  the  Current  Procedural 
Terminology,  First  Edition,  American  Medical  Associa- 
tion, Chicago,  Illinois,  1966,  was  performed  during  the 
stay.  Surgery  includes  procedures  involving  incision, 


excision,  amputation,  introduction,  endoscopy,  repair, 
destruction,  suture,  manipulation,  or  surgical  collapse 
therapy.  All  other  discharges  are  classified  as  "without 
surgery." 

Geographic  classifications:  Based  on  the  address  of 
the  hospital. 

United  States:  Consists  of  the  50  States,  and  the 
District  of  Columbia,  grouped  in  9  census  divi- 
sions, which  are  regrouped  into  4  census  regions. 
Census  Regions:  Northeast,  North  Central,  South,
